Shabazz Larkin: My name is Shabazz Larkin. You can pronounce Shabazz just like jazz, but my favorite thing that I like to tell people about my name, is that I was named after a man named El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, also known as Malcolm X, who was a civil rights leader in the 60's, and my father named me after him so as to remind me to use my voice to empower the people. That's my name, Shabazz Larkin.
